PostgreSQL is a reliable open-source relational database management system that offers expanded data types, indexing options, and optimal performance. It provides powerful features such as transactional integrity, data integrity, and concurrency control for handling complex workloads and scalable applications.
bemDB is an efficient group health insurance benefit and enrollment database that aims to ensure full compliance with the HIPAA 834 standards. The primary feature of this database is its remarkable ability to generate transaction sets for maintenance and enrollment that meet the HIPAA 834 specification. Despite this impressive functionality, it is essential to note that bemDB is not a complete application; rather, it lacks a front-end application that would facilitate data interaction and management for users.
A front-end application can be designed, programmed, and integrated with bemDB at any time to meet specific user needs. In the meantime, the database can be explored, and experiments can be run on it using a database front-end program, such as psql, phpPgAdmin, pgaccess, or PgAdminII, instead of a front-end application.
To install bemDB and create HIPAA 834 output files, the following steps should be followed closely:
1. Install and evaluate PostgreSQL.
2. Create a new database.
3. Ensure that the PL/pgSQL language is already configured on the database (See man page for createlang) or install it.
4. Construct the bemDB schema using bemDBSchema.sql.
5. Establish the bemDB triggers using bemDBTriggers.sql.
6. Build data in bemDB with the bemDBSampleData.sql file that contains sample data.
7. Build the bemDB 834 output functions using bemDB834OutputFunctions.sql.
8. Run the installation tests using select run_transaction_job(1).
9. Check the output by running a query and selecting output from transaction_job_history.
These steps can be comfortably accomplished using various PostgreSQL-friendly front-end tools like psql, PgAdminII, pgaccess, or phpPgAdmin. Overall, bemDB is a versatile and extremely useful insurance benefit and enrollment database that enables users to easily handle and generate files compliant with the HIPAA 834 transaction standard.
